Grief and Bereavement

Funeral was 1 week ago
I was attending my husbands funeral last Saturday at this time. I like many of you feel lost and broken. I am bothered so much by the whys? Not because of the illness but our life in general. Is it normal to have feelings of guilt & regret? Mostly things we didn't make time for. Things we should have done. He was such a…
Need to Talk
Hello all, I just need to talk and let some of this pain out. Sometimes I wonder why things happen. No one said that life was fair, but it has been so cruel and cold to me. I now know exactly what Pink Floyd was singing about in that one song Comfortably Numb. I guess this would be the best way to describe it. I was never…
Missed you guys!
Hey all! Have not been around in forever. So much change, pain..etc. You all know the drill. It will be a year Sept 23rd since I lost mom, then husbands mom in October. January 10th, I asked him to leave - - -pretty I sure I was still on here then. This was a good decision for me. I still miss my best friend, mom each and…
Dreams of spouse
I’m am not certain if this has been posted before but I am wondering if any of you have recurrent dreams of your departed spouse/partner/significant other. In my dream my wife is back in my life and I know it is not supposed to be this way. I ask myself how her doctor could be wrong, the death certificate with her name…
Am I normal?
My mother was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer on 1/31/11. By the time it was found it had already MET to the brain, bones, and liver. She passed away on 4/15/11, just a mere 10 weeks after her diagnosis and 8 weeks to the day before my wedding. Now that I am approaching the four month mark I seem to be feeling worse…
Checking in
I haven't posted in some time; I have lots of thoughts and emotions swirling around in my head, but they don't want to come out. But I do think of you all here who have lost your loved ones and hope you are doing well. I was dreading the summer; July 4th was my birthday, and the 8th the day Frank was rushed to the hospital…
One Year
It is now a year since my wife died of colon cancer (July 29th 2010). Her funeral was the following August 4th. I am waking up at 4:30 AM just like a year ago. I am okay, but I really miss her. I have been through the grief support groups, therapy, connecting as much as I can. I still have some of her clothes, she had very…
Cousin just passed away
We all know how cancer sucks but it is really hard when someone young dies of this crap and leave behind a Husband and two small children and one with a handicap. My Cousin has been fighting a rare form of stomach cancer for the past 3 years, this morning she lost her battle at the MD Anderson hospital in Houston. Please…

Hi again, all you lovely people. Its me, It has been one year and one day since my Mum was separated from us all. She was taken into hospital and past away 5 weeks later so we had no time to think. My update is that, its all such rubbish, I am maxed on anti depressants, have a sleeping pill to get me to sleep, lost four…
